Yes I learnt about out 3 wheeler handling on my run out.

Not huge amounts and no harm done but a lesson learnt to be careful if damp. Didn't put me off going to the new years day Phoenix pub car meet at Phoenuix Green. Another lovely run out and huge numbes of cars to look at on arrival. Brought the A30 to a standstill!

Was that the infamous bend as you leave Four Marks ? Many a car ended up in the ditch there. It looks so innocent but everyone is accelerating down the hill and round the bend. Little bit of grease there and off they go. You did well to save it if this is the same place.
